Each time a Bluejays' player came up with the loose ball. The ball then found the hands of Elmhurst's Tagen Pearson, who swished a 3-pointer from the left wing and completed the four-point play after being fouled by a lunging Ryan Sroka. A tight College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin basketball game had arrived at its turning point, and Elmhurst transformed what was suddenly a four-point lead into a 74-64 victory.
